Lively may actually start, but Holmes has to take more minutes than Powell if this team is going to be productive.
Yeah, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. You would have a point if the Mavs had negotiated Holmes’ contract, but they didn’t. It was simply a pill they had to swallow in order to get their hands on Omax. I hope they get something from Holmes - a lot, ideally. But, they could literally tell him not to report and pay him to stay home and this team would still be better off than it was at this time last season.

I’ll take an sig bet or something else friendly. I think I have signatures turned off?
Cool, let’s wait and see what happens between now and camp, and we’ll readdress. That will give us time to think of something.
